Film acting is entirely different from theater acting. And while method acting may work in film, at least for some actors, it doesn't work well in large theaters. This is why I studied the Method of "Physical Action", a later, more creative, yet, less known development by Konstantin Stanislavski, which is more successful in reaching audiences. It also reflects back well into film acting, due to its more organized and inspiring approach. 

Might I add, that Michail Bulgakov (born in Kyiv), made fun even of Stanislavski, our grand master of today's acting. Reading Bulgakov opens yet another universe for the receptive actor as it surmounts any technique.
